Worth the Wait

We waited over ten years before finally taking the plunge with Bose and
it was well worth the wait. The sound quality is superb and it does
everything I need it to do. I test ran it with Saving Private Ryan and
finally re-experienced the theater quality sound I couldn't get with
our Klipsch or Sony systems. HOWEVER, it took me two weekends to figure
out how to make all the connections (DirecTV, TIVO, DVD...) work like
they are supposed to; if I had it to do over again I would pay the Geek
Squad or somebody to set it up for me. But now that it is up and
running I only regret that we waited so long.

powerful subwoofer with 8˝ driver. Paradigm CT systems deliver

deliver. Paradigm Cinema CT’s are all about performance. They deliver
5.1 audiophile-quality sound without sacrificing lifestyle size, good
looks or a great price. They’re every bit affordable as those other

delivering a seamless soundstage that brings movies and gaming to life
and makes music sound “live.”

 

Think TWICE before buying from Amazon


I purchased, on sale for $499, the Cinema 110 CT in silver. As soon as
I opened the box, I noticed one of the wall-mount brackets was missing.
I sent an e-mail to Amazon to notify them and request one to be sent to
me. I continued to unpack and get the speakers out, and when I was
pulling out the sub I noticed something rattling. It turns out that one
of the "legs" (stand-offs) was completely broken off and rattling in
the plastic bag. I sent another e-mail to Amazon to report that and
asked for a replacement. The responses I received from Amazon was that
they don't have the model in stock, so I could either keep it and get
15% off (response to 1st e-mail), $50 off (response to 2nd e-mail), or
return it for refund. I actually want to keep the set, just not with a
broken piece. Since the black version is available I figured to call
Amazon's customer service and ask if they would replace my set with a
black one considering it's pretty much "like-for-like". You can guess
from the title the answer I got was a "no." Since I purchased the
silver ones on sale they can't replace them with the black ones even
though they are exactly the same. The problem is not that something was
damaged or missing. Quite frankly I think Paradigm shipped the set out
that way since there's no visible sign of damage bad enough that could
have done the damage. The box didn't look like it had been opened, so
the bracket must have been missing from the factory. What Amazon has
failed is to do the simple, right thing and deliver the customer
service it promises. I'm sure Amazon can either get a sub from Paradigm
for replacement or replace mine with the black ones and send mine back
to Paradigm for credit. But why bother, right? I already bought the
receiver, speaker wire, connectors and ceiling mounts to go with the
speakers. Why bother giving me, a customer, service. My advise is to
think TWICE before you THINK TWICE about buying anything worth more
than a couple of hundred dollars. If you do after all the thinking then
just pray that it shows up in perfect condition. Otherwise you may end
up with lots of frustration and phone time with customer service agents
who can't really do anything for you.

sweet sound with slick style

bought these with a yamaha 465 reciever from worst buy. the first set
had 1 speaker that was messed up, it would send my reciever into
protection mode when the volume was kranked up. i took that set bake to
worst buy and exchanged it. no problems now. it was totally worth it as
the sound for movies is perfect.



the room i put them is is 15x18 mounted all of the speakers on the wall
with the adjustable mounts that come with it. the black matches my lg
tv perfect and will probably match most tvs out there. you will need to
buy speaker wire and a sub woofer cable (please don't buy monster cable
it's to expensive and lower quality than what you can find for the same
if not cheaper do some research on wire and cables) also some sort of
screws to mount the sattelite speakers (if thats what you want to do) i
went and got drywall anchors from lowes.

The satelite speakers are small enough to blend in but not so small
that you don't notice them. the sub woofer is mate black and quite a
bit larger you will ned to leave some space somwhere fo it but it
doesnt look bad sitting next to a tv stand. the sub has rubber feet in
it that are about an inch and a half tall and the woofer cone is
exposed on the under side so it would probably be bad to locate it on
long or deep carpet.



the sound is very balanced, not to bright or to warm. it is also very
clear just as good or better than the bose systems they sell at worst
buy for twice as much. with the blue ray hd sound you hear everything
in the movie(one of our friends came over and in a rainy scene she
asked if it had started raining outside). this stuff handle as loud of
sound as i can handle; my girlfriend actually came home while i was
watching transformers and told me it was loud in the driveway. it also
plays music very well but the sub woofer has a little trouble keeping
up with some of the metal i listen to when its kranked ( you can still
hear all the guitar parts clearer than most other sound systems though.




i would recomend spending a little extra time and money buying this
over most htib sistems as you can usually get these speakers and an
excelent reciever in a package for under 800 bucks. there are higher
quality speakers out there but these are as good as it gets for the
price.

3·2·1® GSX Series III DVD Home Entertainment System

3·2·1® GSX Series III DVD Home Entertainment System

• Digitally stores and automatically organizes up to 200
  hours of music from your CDs, and Acoustimass® bass module
• Offers exciting home theater experience from two Gemstone
  speakers and an Acoustimass® module
• Progressive scan DVD/CD player, AM/FM tuner and an HDMI
  output. Simple setup with a step-by-step installation DVD
• Universal remote control delivers seamless 3 2 1 system
  operation with additional video components
• Bose link allows connection to compatible Lifestyle®
  systems for whole-home entertainment

The Bose® 3 2 1 GSX DVD home entertainment system is a premium
choice for enjoying music and movies with greater ease and less
equipment. Two Gemstone speaker arrays and a hideaway Acoustimass
module thrill you with theater-like sound approaching that of
traditional five-speaker systems. But unlike traditional approaches,
there are no wires running to the back of your room. This system also
reduces the common clutter of CDs by digitally storing up to 200 hours
of your music. It s all made possible in an elegant media center, which
also features a progressive scan DVD/CD player, AM/FM tuner and an HDMI
output. An easy-to-use universal remote control provides one-touch
access to your stored music and manages most entertainment devices
attached to your system.

 

Great Product and Powerful Compact System


I have actually reviewed this system before, but since that time I have
received an update from Bose for the system and have made extensive use
of features of the Bose 321 GSX system.This system continues to work
flawlessly in our living room (which is 25' x 15' with a cathedral
ceiling). Sound is amazing and I have never heard any distortions.
Watching movies on the system is a theatrical experience with just the
two front Gemstone speakers and low tones rumbling from the Acoustimass
module.

It is an excellent pairing with our HD television. Listening to music
is equally as impressive (and that is to be expected with the Bose
name). One of the most enjoyable features of this system is the uMusic
system which allows you to digitally store your audio CD's in the
system. It also allows you to categorize the music selections by
genere, artist or album. I have organized my musical selections into 10
separate musical genres and programmed 4 of the 9 playlists that you
can create. I have playlists for everything from dinner music, and
classical, to my jazz favorites and my workout selections. The new
updates from Bose allow you to edit the information in your digital
music library with greater detail (you can alter information on each
track of a CD). The system is a "learning program" and actually
'learns' your music preferences and plays only what you want to hear
and skips your less favored tracks. I'm still (after more than two
years) very impressed and happy with my Bose 321 GSX system. I have
only added a Remote control extender (allowimg me to control ths system
even when I am not in direct line of sight of the media center.

While the system is pricey, it continues to do an amazing job as our
primary home theater system. There are plenty of jacs to attach
additional devices and the universal remote controls all of our living
room media and components. Although there is no jac for headphones or
an 'on timer' (that I use as an added security measue when away from
home), I'm a very happy and proud owner of this home theater system.
Thanks Bose for a great compact system and customer service team, and
thanks to Amazon for a great selection of items and prompt delivery.

Clean and crisp

I bought a different HTiB package from a local store based on Harman
Kardon 154 and some JVC speakers. It was a good deal but I was not
happy with the sound. It was loud and booming but not "full". I
returned them and did a lot more homework. I ended up purchasing these
Klipsch HDT1000 speakers with an Onkyo 607 receiver. After going
through the speaker calibration setup and making sure the speakers were
all hooked up properly I am truly amazed at how good this sounds even
at lower sound levels. There is plenty of power to rattle the neighbors
windows though but what I was looking for is quality sound. This gives
me a sound system that is as good if not better than what I hear at the
theaters.



Another nice aspect is the speakers are not too big. I am able to mount
them from the ceiling using basic stalk mounts. They look good and feel
solid on the mounts. The sub is big. I have not read too much about the
amp built into the 10" sub but it look like it has a lot more
capability than I'm taking advantage of now.



Hard to believe I got the high end Klipsch system for less than the
typical cost of their midrange HDT500 speaker system. I'd buy it again!
Amazon and Vanns were great dealers for this equipment.

Fantastic Speakers

I do consider myself to be picky when it comes to electronics. And I am absolutely floored that speakers this good can be had for a price this low. If you are reading this review, you are probably asking yourself the same question I was this time last week. That being: Are these speakers too good to be true?



During my buying process, I read about these Polks and consequently made a trip to a dumpy Circuit City with a poorly set-up sound room. Before the speakers were played, I picked up one of the sats. and was extremely impressed with its build quality... nice materials, very attractive... and the speakers have a solidness/weight to them that let you know these are not those cheap pressed-wood speakers you'll find in most HTIB systems. Secondly, I was impressed with the sound even though the rears weren't hooked-up and the sub-woofer was poorly placed.



After my trip to CC, I called J&R Music World and had a set of RM6750s shipped to me (J&R is a great store, by the way).



Yesterday I finished installing the speakers... largely using the rich amount of educational information available on the polk audio website that helped me with speaker placement and hook-up. Note: I did NOT use the sub jack on the sub woofer.



The sound is phenominal... especially considering I paid $245. There is no doubt, that if told that these speakers only were sold for their MSRP of $599... that I would still buy them. These speakers meet so many of my requirements:



(1) Great Sound

(2) Attractive

(3) Blend into the environment (i.e., they are small)

(4) Great price

(5) Quality Name

JVC TH-BA1 Soundbar System with Wireless Subwoofer

JVC TH-BA1 Soundbar System with Wireless Subwoofer

• 220 W Total Power
• 2 Digital Optical Inputs, 1 Analog Input
• Remote Control

Works great

I recently took the HD TV plunge in our small living room and quickly
decided we needed something to compliment the great picture. The
soundbar is located directly in front of the TV; connected with digital
cable from the U-Verse box and the Blu-Ray player, and then an analog
connection from our media center PC via the TV. Setup went smoothly and
the wireless subwoofer connected instantly from across the room. I've
found that I have to reduce the subwoofer output when my wife is in the
room because she keeps asking if someone is at the door or pulling in
the driveway. The only problem I had was with the analog connection. At
first I thought that it wasn't working and called customer support.
They helped me figure out that the "center" volume had to be cranked up
along with the TV volume since I have the the analog audio out going
from TV to soundbar for playing stuff from the PC. This setup is more
than enough in a small, open living room to benefit from HD/Blu-ray
effects and it does a good job when I play from my music collection on
the PC.

Viera Cast's assorted online content just keeps getting better
- in addition to the popular contents such as YouTube and Picasa Web
Albums, it now offers Pandora Internet radio, exciting sports from FOX
sports, and tweeting web communications with twitter. No PC required.By
using a combination of real speakers and virtual speakers, a more
natural and smoother sound can be enjoyed. You'll notice the
difference, especially in an action scene - you'll feel like you're
sitting in the center of a true cinema theater.With the bamboo cone
speakers, the sound becomes much more responsive. Vocals are more pure
and cleaner, and the dialog is crisper and easier to understand than
ever before. The Kelton type subwoofer reproduces highly robust,
reverberating bass sounds.The SC-BT330 is compatible with a feature of
ARC (Audio Return Channel). ARC allows receiving audio signals from the
TV, on top of the preexisting HDMI function of sending audio/video
signals to the TV with just one cable. This feature will simplify the
connection by eliminating an audio cable connection between the TV
audio output and the main unit's audio input.

 

Great product with minimal downfalls.


I have been in the market to get streaming content on my TV for a while
now. I compared this unit against the LG-LHB535. The LG has some added
features.



1. Built in Wifi

2. Streaming software... which means you can stream from your computer.


3. HDMI inputs.



Otherwise the Panasonic works awesome. It's fast and responsive, easy
to setup, small and sleek, and it's cheaper than the comparable LG
unit.



It includes the following features.



1. Amazon video rentals... Awesome.. However it's $3 for most regular
rentals and then more for HD. I'm still a bigger fan of RedBox $1 for
anything... Amazon I might be holding out on your steep prices.



2. Netflix the same as everything else... other than the interface is
really simple and ugly like the PS3 interface. It's not as easy to
navigate and search like the X Box 360 or on your computer.



3. Youtube which is cool.



4. Picas pictures which is neat but almost useless in some cases.



5. iPhone/iPod doc that allows audio and video playback. Very cool, it
charges and doesn't display the "this accessory is not made to work
with your device" message.



6. Blue ray, DVD, burned DVD's etc.



7. Two fiber optic inputs that allow you to plug in your infamous HD
DVD player or some other audio sources. Would have liked to see HDMI
here... LG has it.



8. Viera Link which is cool if you have a Panasonic TV like I do. It
turns the stuff on off etc by communicating over the HDMI cable.



9. The sound is AMAZING for as cheap as this unit is. The speakers are
crisp and clear. Very nice surround sound. I had a Sony STR-K750P, and

Acoustic Research, the premier name in home speakers brings
you the first 5.1 system that marries high performance with high style.
Start with the speaker system designed to deliver maximum sound
performance. Sleek aluminum extruded cabinets on the satellites
complement the painted pewter finish on the sub. These beautifully
styled speakers are at home in any decor...but we didn't stop here. The

lifestyle whether it is contemporary or modern, traditional or
classical. We offer a wide variety of speaker covers, all specially
designed to fit our HD510 speakers, which give you maximum acoustics in
a style that suits your decor.

 

Fantastic sounding speakers!

I was very nervous about ordering speakers that I had never heard
before, and also there were no other reviews that I could find. And, I
ordered all the decor speaker covers so I was hoping everything would
sound okay.



Well, to my relief, the speakers sound fantastic!! As a matter of fact,
they sound MUCH clearer, cleaner, and warmer than the Klipsch bookshelf
speakers they replaced! They also are much louder from the same amp, so
I guess they are more efficient. By the way my amp is not that great so
I was so glad these sound so good from even an average amp.



The subwoofer is plenty powerful, I live in a condo so I have not
cranked it all the way up, but I have it at about 1/4 volume and it
fills out the low end completely and booms when needed. It has a
frequency control and also a volume control which is nice.



The satellites seem to be very high quality. They are made of metal and
pretty heavy. I almost knew when I took the first one out of the box
that it would sound good because it felt so solid. And luckily, it did.
I really like how they are very clean in the high end, so I can now
hear the dialogue in movies without having to turn up the stereo so
high.

Bose - Better Sound Through Research

Dedication to research and excellence. It's been the Bose approach to
better sound since Dr. Amar G. Bose founded the company in 1964. But
the commitment actually began years earlier.



In the late 1950s, Dr. Bose, then a graduate student, purchased a
stereo system based on its impressive technical specifications. The
avid music enthusiast was disappointed to discover the speakers didn't
reproduce the sound of a live performance--and he became determined to
recreate that lifelike audio experience for listeners.



After extensive research, Dr. Bose and colleagues introduced the
groundbreaking 901 Direct/Reflecting speakers in 1968. Their lifelike
sound won immediate and widespread acclaim.



Since those early days of 901 speakers, Bose engineers have kept their
focus on creating better technology. You'll find that focus exemplified
in the CineMate GS Series II home theater speaker system, with advances
that ensure premium performance and convenience.

Great sound, good price and easy set up.


When I recently bought a new Sony 40" LCD TV I discovered the TV
speakers were better than my old cheapie surround sound system. I then
bought this Sony HTSS360. I'm a long way from an audio expert but I
know good sound when I hear it and this system has it all the way from
the high to the low pitched sounds. I can now hear even faint
sounds/sound effects I never knew existed with my old sound system.
Between the new TV and this surround sound system all my existing DVD's
are like watching all new movies. It may be a little on the subjective
side but my movies appear to have better color and clarity than when
the feed was direct from my DVD player. Very easy to set up and play
using one remote with the Bravia Sync. In my case just two HDMI cables,
sat box and DVD player, to the receiver and one HDMI out to the TV,
easy.

Best speakers in this price range.


These are absolutely the best speakers for the price. Everything comes
packed in a rather big and heavy(72lbs) box. The speakers are well
packed in this big box. The build quality and finish is excellent.
Especially, the subwoofer is huge and sounds sweet, it turns on and off
automatically. I am surprised that they included such a big subwoofer
at this price. I hooked these speakers to Sony-STR-DG800 receiver. All
the speakers have spring clips(cheap) to connect the speaker wire.
Speaking of the speaker wire, the supplied speaker wire is also cheap.
And for the price I paid, I absolutely don't have any complaints about
that. All the surround speakers are wall mountable. The bottom line, I
am very satisfied with these speakers and recommend to anyone not very
particular about the size.

1st time neophyte buyer of a Home Theater System

I purchased this unit to complement a Samsung LN52a550 HDTV. Didn't feel there was enough sound from the unit to complement the samsungs outstanding video. Shopped for reasonably priced HTIB units and decided (despite cautions that most didn't perform) to give this unit a try. In my wildest expectations I never thought this unit would perform up to its marketing description. Placed in a den of that is approx. 15 x 25 and playing a Dolby DVD, it placed me in a cinema that provides sound effects that truly astounded. I'll qualify this by saying that I'm a audio neophyte but for this sound at this amount of money I am truly impressed.



Be aware that this Sony unit is being used with a Samsung HDTV and consequently the transition between DVD usage & HDTV usage (must change input source) is a bit bothersome. I found that in order to obtain full surround sound from the unit when receiving audio only from you TV (not from the DVD) you must purchase a digital optical cable.



Hope I haven't misled any one but if you select this unit I don't believe you'll be disappointed.
